An Update

The more regular visitors of this blog (there aren't many of you but you're there nonetheless) may have noticed some changes around here. My blog looks different and my content is going to see some minor changes.

You see, I never knew where I envisioned this blog going before but I've been giving it some thought and I think I've figured it out. In summary, I've come to the realisation that if I'm going to be putting so much effort into this blog and its content, it might as well come with some kind of benefit. That's not to say that I envisage blogging becoming a career for me but I would like to discuss more topics that will be relevant to my future job (more on that in a sec). I want to be able to put a link to this site on my CV and show my employers what I can do and that I've been interested in these fields for a long time. I want to write about things that interest me and that I hope will interest you. I want discussion and debate and learning and so much more than what I currently see happening here.

So, upcoming topics that I would like for us to discuss more are going to be things like politics, sexuality, personal development and careers - amongst others, of course. Content that I've already started planning include cultural appropriation, representation, whether university continues to be the best option post A-Level and heteronormativity.

There's going to be a lot of interesting stuff coming up (well, in my opinion) and I hope that you guys are excited for what's to come!

Let me know if this is something that you're looking forward to and I'll see you next week

Since I'm only 18 and still in full-time education, I haven't had a great deal of opportunity to go travelling. I have, however, had a lot of time to think about all the places I want to go.

At the moment, the place I'm wanting to go to the most is Japan. When I say this, I'm not talking about the cities with their millions of people, the fast-paced streets, the smoke etc. In fact, I'm desperate to go to the ancient parts of Japan and be very, very peaceful. I want to be surrounded by cherry blossom and temples and silence.

So here's a quick rundown of the parts of Japan that I want to visit the most.

Recently, I've been reading a lot about the environment. Personally, I think it's a really important issue and we should be doing all we can to preserve the planet, save the bees, reduce CO2 etc. It makes me really sad to see how our society is distancing itself further and further from nature and I think the effects of this are serious. So, I thought I'd document some fairly easy ways in which we can help to save the planet - both for me to refer back to and for you to take advice from.

According to their website, bullet journals are a "customisable and forgiving organisation system. It can be your to-do list, sketchbook, notebook, and diary, but most likely, it will be all of the above. It will teach you to do more with less." It feels like everyday I'm reading another blog post about how all the different symbols, colours and the hours spent drawing out the index and the future log have "changed my life." But I don't just don't buy it. Here's why:
